Books On Sale

So, What Are You Reading This Weekend (With Some Sale Links)?

A book open on a table with a road, grass and a tree growing out of it. The book is a journey, in other words.So, what are you reading this weekend? What books are you totally enjoying? Share share!

This weekend I'm in the car with the family heading out for vacation, and I plan to read as much as I can in the car. While the kids are awake, I read magazines, because it's easier for me to stop reading an article than it is a book. When I read a book, I tend to be completely unaware of everything but the book, and that can be troublesome for everyone else in the car on long road trips (much as I personally enjoy it). So while the kids are awake, magazines, and stretching and working out those left and right oblique muscles as I go-go-Gadget-arm to reach things that have fallen on the floor. But once they sleep, I have about 10 books saved up to read in the car, and for the rest of the week. Vacation reading is somehow extra special. 

In case you're not sure what to read this week, I have some sales to give you some options, including some discounted Rachel Gibson titles for a future weekend. Hope your weekend reading is kickass!

    Re-reading Nora Roberts Born in Ice. Was in the mood for Ireland. Reminiscing about my time there.

  2. Nabpaw says:

    Last week I mentioned that I was about to read Courtney Milan’s Unclaimed.  I also mentioned that I was a little nervous about it because I don’t like stories with prostitutes as the hero/heroine (because of the angst).  Well, I finished it and I really liked it.  It wasn’t hopelessly, sillily (possibly not a real word) angsty.  The dialogue was smart and witty.  The hero and heroine were mostly sensible and ultimately likeable people.  I especially liked the fact that she reclaimed her sexuality after having divorced herself from it for so long.

    i was so impressed with my incredible bravery in reading this book that I’ve bought the new Joanne Bourne book.  I know its going to be really angsty.  I’m prepared to be traumatized.  I usually am when reading Joanne Bourne.  Am I the only one who thinks her characters are too wonderful?  They are, but she’s a good writer so I’m going to do it.  Wish me luck!

  3. Tara says:

    I’m going to read the new Sarah Mayberry and Lynn Ray Harris books. Somehow I didn’t know that two of my favourite authors were releasing books this week and managed to stumble on both of them.

  4. Copa says:

    Seriously, audiobooks! I do a 30 hour drive in two days a few times a year to see my family, and audiobooks are the way to go, if you don’t have library2go and an ipod, the library has a semi-large collection on cd.

  5. velocireader says:

    I read Prey by Linda Howard and I will never get that time back. It was awful. I wanted the bear to just eat everyone and be done with it. I also read Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James, and it was disappointing.

  6. Orange_1949 says:

    I discovered bujold last summer and went crazy – listened to all of them on audiobooks that I was able to download from the library. They were amazing! I’m hoping for more, but they’re eminently re-readable.

  7. Frannie says:

    I’m re-reading Linda Winfree’s Hearts of the South series. They’re terrific, but I’m sad that she appears to have stopped publishing. I’m going south next week and these comments are helpful as I think about what new stuff I’m going to load onto my Sony.

  8. Lil' Deviant says:

    Just finished By A Thread by Jennifer Estep.  Love Love Love that series. 

    When Mr. Deviant starts to get car sick I make him chew minty gum.  Have y’all tried that?  It has made a big difference in the pleasantness of our travel.

  9. MissB2U says:

    Peppermint Altoids.  I kid you not, they really help with nausea. 

  10. Scrin says:

    I’m re-reading Lamb

  11. Scrin says:

    Ah, darnit. Missed my click and posted early. I’m re-reading Lamb in that hardback leather-ette bound edition. Ah, Christopher Moore…I also got and read Timeless, by Gail Carriger. Feelings ambivalent—normally she wraps every loose end up and ties them all into a big pretty bow. This felt a little rougher. Other than that, I’m killing time until Mass Effect 3 comes out Tuesday.

  12. Karin says:

    Agree about Joanna Bourne’s characters, especially the women, but I’m totally in love with her last hero, Guilliame LeBreton(sigh, pitter-pat) from The Forbidden Rose. I’ve got the new Bourne book, as well as Unclaimed, but I don’t think I can take that much back-to-back angst. So right now I’m enjoying The Capture of the Earl of Glencrae, with is pure fluff and as nonsensical as can be.

  13. Karin says:

    Too bad about Linda Howard! That leaves JAK as the last contemporary romance/suspense author left that I still read.

  14. Amandag_18 says:

    I just read bet me too! Amazing, so I went on to read Agnes and the human, also by Jennifer cruise – worth it, read it!:)

  15. DreadPirateRachel says:

    That sounds fabulous. Either of the above!

  16. PamG says:

    I forced myself to finish The Night Circus, and then made the experience worse by reading Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand which I loved.  I immediately wanted to write a comparative essay discussing why one book worked for me and the other was a mega-fail.  Both meet the definition of romance, albeit of the fairly chaste persuasion, yet they are worlds apart in readability.  Had to read Sweet Enemy, When Beauty Tamed the Beast, and The Duke Is Mine as a chaser.

    I am currently reading through Donna Killian’s Poetic Death mysteries.  Although Killian sometimes falls into the cozy trap of having the (usually) heroine reiterate all possible solutions for several boring pages of internal monologue instead of—you know—plot, I’m finding the series pleasant and…cozy.  I like the literary references, the evocative descriptions of England’s Lake District, and the relationship between hero and heroine very much.

  17. LauraN says:

    I’m rereading Welcome to Temptation and Faking it by Jennifer Crusie.  I love the Dempsey family soooooo much!

  18. Nabpaw says:

    Is that Laurens?  I stopped reading her awhile ago.  I decided that before I pick up the Bourne, I would reread some Joan Wolf.  Her characters are also too good to be true, but the stories aren’t terribly angsty.  I just finished The Arrangement which I thoroughly enjoyed and will now start the Bourne.  or maybe I’ll read the new Carolyn Jewel….

  19. EliG says:

    Finished Carriger’s Timeless this morning (love her world), Almost done with Celebrity in Death, and tomorrow I’ll secure Singh’s Angels Flight. I’d already have it on my Kindle but must buy it in hardcopy so that it can live at my sister’s house after I read it. 

  20. Lisa Pegg says:

    Let’s see… today I’ve: finished Decadent by Shayla Black, which I started because I had to read the immortal phrase (I wanted to smack both the h/h multiple times as well as the author); started and finished By a Thread by Jennifer Estep and Changing the Game by Jaci Burton. I can do that because I skim the sex scenes and I have no DH or plot moppets to look after. Saturday is my wallow day. No idea what is next, but I do have EIKAL on the nook. Way too many books to choose from!

    OH, and DPR: I’d be happy to share my favorite places in Hawaii with you (most of them are in and around Kona), especially if you need a tour guide. 🙂 I’m always up for a Hawaii trip!

  21. JennyB says:

    Totally not a romance, but I just started Massie’s Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman, and I’m loving it.  It’s a brick, so I suspect I’ll be reading it for at least a week.  Which might justify the almost $25 price tag on the Kindle edition.

  22. Taylor Reynolds says:

    I just finished Chase’s “The Last Hellion” last night and adored it. I finished Julie Ann Long’s “How the Marquess was Won” on Friday night then really had to compare the instant gratification cost of $6.99 for the ebook versus the penny-pincher $4.06 hardcopy. Instant grat won, so I can start at the beginning of the Pennyroyal Green series.

    Big thanks to Sarah for pointing out that she liked Long!

    I’ve been on a BUY NOW clicking spree this morning to check out this Barrons dude in the Fever series, 50 Shades of Grey (I couldn’t get into the Brotherhood boys and I haven’t read Twilight, so we’ll see how this crack works for me) and a couple other books that were patiently waiting in my cart.

  23. I just finished Josh Bazell’s Wild Thing, which I loved except for his insertion of a real-life political figure into the story.

    Now I’m reading Jo Beverley’s A Scandalous Countess.

  24. Robin Mayerhoefer says:

    I’m reading Incubus Dreams by Laurell K. Hamilton, but since starting it I’ve put it down twice to read something else, and then come back to it. I really enjoyed the earlier Anita Blake books, but they are increasingly more focused on sex. Not that I mind sex in a book, but I miss the story and the character building. I’m on page 154, and it seems like the entire 154 pages have been one long sex scene.

  25. ECSpurlock says:

    Like DPR I cannot read in the car without getting violently ill. I can, however, stitch or crochet in the car without ill effect; go figure.

    I’m stuck in Medieval times for the moment; just finished an ancient Phillippa Carr/Victoria Holt, “Miracle At St. Bruno’s” just because somebody gave it to me and I’ve never read any of her stuff; it was entertainingly angsty in a Norah Lofts/Anya Seton sort of way without being quite as soaked in irony as they can be. Currently reading “The Leper of St Giles” by Ellis Peters, who is one of my cracktastic authors; I love me some Cadfael. (Just noticed the plethora of saints here; must be because it’s Lent.)

    Enjoy your vacation, Sarah & co!

  26. If anyone is intrigued by old timey romance comics I just purchased “Young Romace: The Best of Simon and Kirby’s Romance Comics” and am incredibly loving it from the social view of seeing where all the great tropes started and especially what was salacious and social before the comics code came along and “cleaned up” romance comics. I love the old timey melodrama of it all.

  27. Patricia M says:

    I can not read in the car but my sister used to read to her children while on car trips.  Now in their late twenties they still remember very fondly listening to Bunnicula and similar books. She passed on her love of books during those trips, among other times.

  28. nice wedding dresses says:

    have a look at this wedding dresses
    Davids Bridal
    Pronovias

  29. Abigail Hoy says:

    Well I’m going to be reading Nalini Singh’s Angel’s Flight, despite the fact that I own all of the stories in it bar one, an absolute rip to re-publish all her novellas with only one new story, alas I wish to know the romance between Jessamay and Galen.

    I’ve heard good reviews for wassit, The Madness of Angels so I may also check that out, I just wish there were more angel themed books without religious bull crap, the romance is optional! So if I find it is clogged with, God this and God that, I may possibly have to cry.

  30. henofthewoods says:

    I just read A Discovery of Witches. I love it. It does end with a cliffhanger, but it has a love of history and science and wonder all at once.
